US Expands Sanctions on Iran Targeting Financial Networks and Key Sectors
The US Treasury has imposed new sanctions on Iran targeting its shadow-banking system, cryptocurrency exchanges, and sectors like digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping. These measures aim to curb Iran's revenue sources and restrict its access to international finance, oil revenue, and sanctions-evasion networks. Nearly 60 entities linked to nuclear and missile technology procurement, cyber operations, and oil smuggling were sanctioned, alongside revoking licenses for certain payments and cultural exchanges with Iran.
